In January, I took an electroforming workshop with German Jeweller, Katrin Spranger at Cockpits. I am truly instpired! I have been wanting to learn this technique for years, since first seeing bracelets at Dazzle Exhibition in London. I'm very excited to have bought the kit and am looking forward to exploring more large scale electroforming into my work.

I am very honoured to be a finalist of the Griffith Regional Art Gallery's 2016 National Contemporary Jewellery Award for my entry 'Kelp Wanderings' as part of my Fragments of King series. Sterling silver and kelp. (2015) brooch.

I have just landed in ‪Iceland‬ for a month for an Artist Residency at the Fish Factory in a town i can't pronounce (Stöðvarfjörður) to walk and research this coastline, to create a new series >> ‪Fragments of Iceland‬ <<
